@tommywllliams asked: ‘ how many people have you killed? ’

Funny, he figured that certain information would be WIDESPREAD by now since he's confessed to the crimes. The cult leader peers over at Tommy from where he was doing his daily exercises, slightly surprised by the casual way in which the topic was brought up. He can't even detect a hint of nervousness in the other man's tone, something he'd be mildly IMPRESSED over if it weren't for the fact Tommy has made it clear many times he doesn't intend to join his movement.

" Cheery conversation starter, Williams. Do you honestly want to know that? " Kai jumps at the pull-up bar, gripping onto it with a faint GRIMACE as he pulls his body weight up and down slowly. After getting locked behind bars and being forced to get clean from his addiction to his Adderall, Kai looked in far better physical shape now than he did when he arrived. He doesn't wait for Tommy to answer before he gives an answer to his question after finishing up his reps. " More than six. " He decides to keep it VAGUE, even he had lost track somewhere along the way, numbed by his actions.

Technically there were several murders that he didn't actually carry out with his own hand, among the bodies of his parents being discovered during the raid. Kai found it easier to just act like he was responsible for ALL of it rather than disputing it in court.

Dark eyes pick up on the subtlety of Elena's expressions, the way her breath changed slightly as he throws her off her RHYTHM. He was already getting under her skin and it only served as pure entertainment value to the incarcerated cult leader. " Of course you don't like to use the term. Why be accurate when you can just pander? That's what most people do these days, they never tell it how it is. That's why everyone is getting so fucking soft and sensitive. " Kai drags his tongue over his teeth, unable to hide the smirk that takes over when Elena tells him its her SECOND year on the job. Definitely a mistake on her part to disclose that information.

A short whistle falls from pursed lips and he shakes his head, " Your second year...shit. You're in over your pretty little head, Dr. Gilbert. They must wanna get rid of you real fast to allow you in here. " Kai wishes he could recline further in his seat, stopped from any big movements once again by the cuffs. His eyes roll back as she changes the subject, going through a list of the most BASIC of questions he's ever heard. " My name is Kai Anderson. I'm thirty-one as of about a month ago. I was born and raised in Brookfield Heights. And I'm in here because I killed in the name of justice. You all are just blind to the truth. "

Being called a shrink right off the bat definitely throws Elena off a bit. She blinks a little at the comment, and his tone of voice. It's not anything she hasn't heard before, from all the videos she's watched of him, but having it directed at her personally is...different. Elena is off-put, but she's not letting it deter her from her goal. They've only just started, after all.

"I don't like to use the term 'crazy' but yes, you're correct. And I'd like to state that I'm not here to prove your insanity -- just evaluate you." She smiles again, only for it to immediately fade at his question. He's just trying to get a rise out of her, so Elena has to act like it doesn't bother her. Even though it absolutely does.

"This is my second year." Elena knows better than to elaborate any further on anything regarding herself. Clients that are being forced into being evaluated have absolutely no issue turning the spotlight around to her. She's learned to not let it happen, which is why she's quickly changing the subject. "Can I ask if you know your name, age, where you're from, and why you're incarcerated?"

@wantlonger​ continued from here!

The dim, faulty lighting flickered above their heads for a split second. It only made the bleak, gray room feel even more hopeless. Dolores’s silence was uneasy, the discomfort of it caused Kai to shift in his chair and adjust the handset between his fingers. A part of him ached to be able to hold his lover in his arms and have things be normal again. 

Normal. That’s a funny way to look at it. What parts of their relationship were ever normal? When was the last date he took Dolores on? The last time they laid in bed together and enjoyed the company of each other? When was the last time he set aside his own wants and needs for her? There were so many different questions that Kai didn’t want to face the answers to. 

As for what he felt now that everything he built came crumbling down in one fell swoop, that was a different story entirely. An intense fire burned in the former cult leader’s gaze and a subtle sneer formed on his lips. “ Anger. At her...at myself for trusting that bitch in the first place. I should’ve killed her when I had the chance. “ And he had many, many chances. He paused his rage for the briefest of moments to pull a better answer to her query, one that would be easier for her to sympathize with. 

“ I also feel like she fucked up what we had. Always thought I’d see you walking down the aisle with a gorgeous dress on. “ Kai’s eyes looked his lover up and down. Even looking exhausted, she still was beautiful, “ God, you’d make the perfect bride. “

@tommywllliams asked: [ PURSUIT ] for one muse to chase the other. 

" Williams! " Kai yells out, a loud CACOPHONY of footsteps running down the empty corridor. He grasps the edge of a doorframe, practically flinging himself forward to round the corner in order to catch up with Tommy. The bastard was surprisingly fast, frustratingly so. The two men manage to stay out of earshot of the guards and the cult leader suddenly stops his pursuit once he comes to the library room, the door visibly AJAR.

With his chest HEAVING with labored breaths, he steps into the room, dark eyes peering around like a predator carefully stalking its prey. " There's only so many places you can fucking hide in here, Tommy. Grow a fucking pair and come out! " Kai calls out, starting his search in peering behind the rows of bookshelves.

[hiveruled-moved]

@tommywllliams asked: "It's like a possum crawled onto your face and died."

Kai looks over his face in one of the small bathroom mirrors, what once was MAINTAINED stubble has now managed to grow into the start of a beard. He scratches his fingers against the itchy, scraggly mess and snorts at the other man's comment when he wanders past the sinks. " Some of us in here like to look like we have a certain amount of testosterone, Tommy. " For once Kai's tone is light instead of filled with VENOM when addressing him, but he still earns a few cruel chuckles from some of the inmates within earshot.

Though, he does agree with Tommy the more the cult leader looks at himself the more he realizes just how UNRECOGNIZABLE he was from when he first was brought into Jackson. He'd definitely have to go and grab a disposable razor later.

" If anything you should deal with those sideburns. Don't know if you got the memo, but it's not the fifties anymore, man. "

@empiirics​​ asked: “We don’t need to be enemies.”

The prison yard isn’t as bustling in the colder months as much as it is during the summer, but Kai couldn’t care LESS. Getting out meant being able to stretch his legs instead of being kept in his cell like a zoo animal. It meant he had the option to recruit other inmates without being monitored as closely by the guards. Though, they never really seemed to give a shit either way. If they were working in his group, they’d be gone within the first day. USELESS and lazy, all of them. 

He’s surrounded by the few men who decided to grab a pair of balls and venture out today, his fingers bringing a lit cigarette between his lips, warming himself with smoke and nicotine. When Nathan approaches the so-called Divine Ruler, he’s quickly intercepted by a tall, bearded man, all the while Kai BARELY acknowledges him with a glance. Upon hearing him however, he chuckles dryly around the cigarette, flicking it carelessly onto the pavement and stamping it out with his shoe. 

“ You’re right, we don’t. Men are only truly enemies with men when we go to war. “ Kai murmurs, slowly exhaling a PLUME of smoke into the chilled air. “ I don’t consider you an enemy, Nathan. That’s not why we don’t speak and it isn’t why you’re not a part of my crew. “ The cult leader waves his hand NONCHALANTLY, silently signaling the bearded man to back down from blocking the other, which he complies to like an impressively obedient mutt. When Nate comes into full view, Kai lets a slow,  smirk form on his lips. “ Killing a bunch of drunk college students? You think that’s impressive? Anyone with enough guts and a decent weapon could go and do that any day of the week. “

Bring Me The Horizon  {Sentence Starters}

@noblecide​

A bitter chuckle left the convict’s lips as his brother spoke to him on the other side of the glass. It’s been months since Kai Anderson has been locked behind the bars of a maximum security prison. During those months, the visits from Tate only piled onto his growing rage   if Kai’s anger could truly be added onto in the first place. It was a reminder of what he’s lost, of what he failed to protect and provide for because of putting he put his trust into Ally. 

“ And how exactly are you going to show your support to me, little bro? “ Kai stared down the other dangerously. If there wasn’t a safe partition of glass between them, one might easily think that the cult leader was planning on tearing his brother’s heart out on the spot. “ You gunna keep talking about how I’m insane now? How I belong in the fucking loony bin like Vin thought? “ Kai’s fist slammed down against the table in violent frustration, though it did little to ease the burn of anger flowing through his veins. 

“ I told you before the trial even started that I was never going to take an insanity plea, Tate. If people can’t understand what I’m doing for this world then they’ll just end up burning along with the rest of the unworthy. “

There’s a lot Kai has convinced the guards in the prison to let him get away with, but starting up a relationship with Elsie was among the most ridiculous things. He sent more than enough letters to her, even ended up getting his hands on a cellphone to call and text her. Elsie was apparently a fan of his, and honestly, Kai would’ve been put off by her obsession if it wasn’t for the fact she had gone great lengths to carry his child. Her devotion and attention was something that he admittedly, craved to have in his life. 

It took much longer than Kai would’ve liked to finally meet Elsie face to face, but they eventually sorted out an official meeting. An amused grin spread across Kai’s lips when she loudly announced her presence. Pressing his fingers to his lips he blew a quick air kiss to the other and ended it with a wink of an eye. “ Damn, I wasn’t aware they were letting in angels. “

Admittedly he's a bit amused of the amount of PRECAUTIONS the staff takes in securing him in the chair, even going as far as to give one of the guards a playful, suggestive smirk when he kneels down to cuff his ankles which earns a grumble of disgust. They were all IDIOTS. He didn't attack anyone at random, there was always method and reasoning. And to kill the therapist his own lawyer hired to help out with his sentencing? That seemed very counterproductive. But there was no point in arguing about it, the guards already exited the room.

Instead, the next time someone enters the room, it's a beautiful young woman carrying papers and sporting a smile that BRIGHTLY contrasts the dullness of their surroundings. Yet Kai only stares at Elena, watching her take a seat across from him at the table in complete silence, his eyes occasionally and shamelessly traveled down to her open shirt.

At her query however, suddenly the convict's head tilts subtly to the side. " If a shrink says that I'm crazy I'll have the possibility of an insanity plea to shorten my sentence. " Kai leans back the best that he can in the chair, feeling the UNWAVERING tug of metal on his wrists with a slow, but annoyed exhale. " So, yes, Dr. Gilbert. I'm well aware you're here because you wanna root around my brain. How many years of experience do you have in this field exactly? "

@hiveruled

She'd never imagined one of her first clients to be something like this. At all. Elena had decided she would be a consulting therapist rather than have her own practice, and that had come after the decision to leave premed and go into psychology. She'd wanted to help people like her dad, but in a way that she had needed help for majority of her life at this point. Maybe She'd never have gotten caught up in all the supernatural business if she'd had a good therapist.

This is what she's thinking about as she's led into the prison, patted down, and sent through several metal detectors; the fact that she needed something like this a very long time ago. And maybe she can help the seemingly insane if she tries hard enough.

And judging by what she's found about this particular person just online alone...she's got her work cut out for her.

"Hi -- I'm Dr. Gilbert," she introduces herself with a signature smile, sitting across from Kai and doing her best to ignore the fact that he's handcuffed to the table. His ankles are, too. Elena exhales a breath, and opens a notebook along with the file she's put together on him.

"Do you know why I'm here?" Probably best to start easy, right?
